Add-On SFP-H25G-CU3M-RD-AO 25Gbps Direct Attach Copper Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-H25G-CU3M-RD-AO is a 3-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 25Gbps connections between SFP28 ports. This cable is ideal for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers, server rooms, and network aggregation points. Its passive design means no power is required from the host ports, and its low supply current draw (4 mA) minimizes impact on switch power budgets. The SFP-H25G-CU3M-RD-AO ensures reliable data transmission with a low bit error rate of 10^-12.

Compatibility

This 3-meter DAC cable is engineered to be compatible with any networking equipment featuring SFP28 ports. It adheres to the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), ensuring interoperability with switches, servers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers that support 25Gbps SFP28 connectivity. It is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and enterprise deployments requiring adherence to trade agreements.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 5.0 mm diameter and a minimum bending radius of 5.0 mm, allowing for flexible routing within dense rack environments. It operates within a standard commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius. The 28AWG cable gauge ensures signal integrity over its 3-meter length. Ensure proper seating of the SFP28 connectors into the host ports to establish a stable connection.
